Space Raiders is a new-school arcade shooter that stays faithful to Space Invaders, but it ends up with a different syle and many additions. Like Space Invaders, you can only move left or right as you shoot a formation enemies that try to shoot or come right at you. However, this time, you play as humans armed with guns who are trying to stave off a fleet of aliens. There are a fair amount of powerups, such as increased speed and rapid fire, and you have a dodge move that grants you a split second of invincibility. You also have a few bombs and a special bombing move to use. There are 6 stages, which have a set of mini-stages leading up to a boss. The key element to mastering this game is using the "combo" system to your advantage. Shoot 10 enemies in a row without missing to collect items, and shoot 50 and 100 to power up your shot. This combo system adds a lot of technique and skill. Probably the shining aspect of Space Raiders is the boss battles. They are long and very intense. It's extremely satisfying to beat a huge boss and evade all his attacks, rack up a 100 hit combo and destroy him with powered up shot. There are some downsides to this game. For one, the story is pretty laughable, even for a 1-hour arcade game. Second, story mode gives you unlimited continues, so limit those continues and you'll have a lot more fun and excitement. NO CREDIT FEEDING!!! This game takes a bit of time to learn. But overall, Taito has done more than just rehash an old favorite. They've made a new shooter with its own style, and this shows that Taito still has that magic, and I hope they keep making quality games like this.Read full review

It is hard to beat Galaga DX and Space Invaders Infinity. However Space Raiders isn't bad at all, this is more so for retro gamers. Who want Space Invaders, but with more of a on the ground choose your character feel.
